It is no longer required to have Gnome or KDE as a companion desktop. So we do have a Sugar-Desktop "distribution" already in F11. Benjamin M.

We just have a terminology problem on the definition of "distribution". Is Fedora 11 KDE Desktop Edition "a different distribution" from Fedora 11, or is it "the same distribution"? Is LUbuntu (LXDE Ubuntu) a different distribution from standard Ubuntu? The answer doesn't matter; it's just a definitions problem. Having an official "Fedora 12 Sugar Desktop Edition", making Sugar a first-class alternative to KDE and Gnome in Fedora, would be a great thing, and I suspect it would satisfy most of Philippe's concerns. </pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
